jack-o'-lanterns
Halloween porch decorations
Jack-o'-lanterns are hollowed-out pumpkins carved with faces and lit from within by candles, displayed at Halloween.
The tradition originated with turnips in Ireland and Scotland before pumpkins became the American standard.
The flickering light through cut features creates an eerie glow: The porch was lined with jack-o'-lanterns.
The term originally referred to strange lights seen over marshes, attributed to wandering spirits.
